They're still up on BD. Loved the last design. Very, very elegant and well done. I'll never understand (philosophically) why this kind of stuff gets removed though. I can't help but chuckle at the level of shush Hollywood gives their product.

Despite releasing some concepts, Blomkamp is still being cagey with what he releases, as was ADI when we were after some specifics. I think they still want to keep a tight lid on this incase.

We must never, ever give up hope.

Perfect-I can't take the credit for any of that as that's been the rumored "plot" for Blomkamp's ALIENS 2.0(having Ripley "pass the torch" to a now adult Newt).

We'll see what shakes out of all this once the deal is finalized. One thing I would count on: Disney will let fans know what's in store for their ALIEN I.P. as quickly as possible. Be it ALIENS 2.0, Ridley's "Awakening" or perhaps a reboot of the entire franchise itself and remake "ALIEN".(Don't get the pitchforks...just speculation)

I don't think Sig and Beign will do it, however, Sam Worthington seems to treading the sci-fi path quite oftern. There is a film he is doing called The Titan which has him becoming an alien (others say he looks like the engineer from Prometheus, but whatever). I think there is potential for Sam to stay in the sci-fi horror genre for a while. And considering he is pretty tough, I could see him doing a marine USCM style and shifting the focus more on a single soldier in the Aliens world. He is definitely Disney worthy considering his involvement with Avatar and probably will continue to .

Hicks-I agree. My gut feeling is that Disney will move pretty quickly on the ALIEN IP once the actual deal is finalized by Disney/Fox(from my understanding, they have agreed in principal on the deal but have not signed off on it yet ie: Disney buying Fox)

I personally think Disney will go with Blomkamp/Weaver and his "ALIENS 2.0" movie. As long as Weaver and Biehn are still willing to do it(pretty sure they'll get Lance Henrikson back on board as well) it's the "safe" bet for Disney.

Much like they did with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I think Disney will play it "more safe" and go with fan favorites like Ellen Ripley and Hicks fighting Aliens and hopefully it'll set up an adult Newt "getting passed the torch" for possible further ALIEN fighting adventures......

That sounds awesome!

Thread will become an argument about how much The Last Jedi does/doesn't suck in 3...2...1....

After Last Jedi, I have little doubt Disney would approve a version of Blomkamps alien 5 with Weaver and possibly Biehn as quickly as possible.

Removed eh? Interesting. I'm betting that they may still hold some clout for future projects.

I really don't think Blomkamp's gonna do this even if it gets made. He's said numerous time he's moved on from this, and he's already got so much on his plate with Oats and The Gone World (which is also at Fox) that he probably wouldn't be able to fit this into his schedule.

:D had these been labeled as 'unused RIDLEY SCOTT Prometheus concept art' instead of being for 'kamp's film most of the complaints would vanish

Yeah, it would have been supergreen then...  :D

Were the pics removed because Alien 5 is potentially still on the table?

That's why I asked the Corporal who requested the removal yesterday. If it was Fox it may have been. But this is probably just Carlos getting a little jittery over all the attention the images are getting. I don't think he ever had express written permission to publish it online.

Well wait and see if Bloody Disgusting, Sci-fied and the rest who still have the images displayed online get slammed with a C&D from Fox or not.

If they'd just dump Ripley and Hicks from this (do it with new characters after Alien 3, or hell, maybe Ripley 8 after Resurrection) then I'd be much more interested in this. I love Huante's work on Ridley's films and it is equally impressive here.

Hell, there's even potential in moving the David story beyond the "prequel" era and into the post-3 or post-Res world.

If (big "if") they make Alien 5, you think they'll include Ripley and Hicks as originally intended? That concept art came out two years ago and when you're as old as Weaver and Biehn, an additional two years can really show on your face/body...

Just trying to envision what that storyline would look like.
